Luke Littler has firmly stated that he has no intention of following his friend Angry Ginge into the jungle, despite the YouTuber’s recent victory on a reality TV show set around a campfire. The professional darts champion, known as The Nuke, extended his congratulations to Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, for winning the popular show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.” However, Littler, who is gearing up to defend his title at the Professional Darts Corporation tournament at Alexandra Palace, asserted that he has no interest in participating in the challenging bushtucker trials featured on the show.
The 18-year-old darts prodigy from Warrington expressed his reluctance to endure tasks like consuming kangaroo anus or crocodile genitalia for the entertainment of hosts Ant and Dec. Littler emphasized that even for the right compensation, he would not subject himself to the physical and mental challenges faced by contestants on the reality program.
Reflecting on his decision, Littler stated, “Watching the show, I don’t think I could actually do it. No, especially after seeing what others had to endure in the trials. There’s just no way I would ever consider participating in such an experience.”
Meanwhile, Burtwistle, who emerged victorious as the King of the Jungle after spending three weeks in the Australian rainforest, faced various daunting challenges during his final bushtucker trial. In contrast, Littler celebrated his friend’s win by attending a football match between Manchester United and Wolves, where he was spotted on camera alongside the club’s head of fan engagement.
United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, acknowledged Littler’s presence at the match and playfully responded to a tweet by the darts champion, marking his enjoyable experience at the game with a darts emoji.
